New Art (Nov 13 2003 00:00 GMT) - I finished another drawing during class this afternoon. I got frustrated during this session because I couldn't decide on an appropriate composition. I erased my drawing twice before I finally gave up and just decided to let loose. I tried a new technique for the first time - using the side of a charcoal stick along with charcoal pencils, rather than just the pencil alone, as I had been doing until now. It felt good to do something new and I like the result. |
